Adrian Cole co-founder and senior science writer covering space and physics. Fascinated by the night sky, he studied astrophysics and theoretical physics and prioritizes reading original research, mission reports, and conference papers to explain results and reasoning. His work spans planetary missions, exoplanets, black holes, neutron stars, early-universe physics, quantum mechanics, and particle physics. With 8+ years’ experience, his rule: read the paper first. Off duty, he’s at his telescope, debating the Fermi Paradox or rethinking Pluto.
